When Steven Winn and his wife, Sally, finally gave in to their onlychild Phoebe's pleas for a dog, they adopted a scraggly terriermutt from a local animal shelter. The new familypet, Como, turned out to hate men--especially theauthor--and proved to be a cunning escape artist.Traumatized, single-minded, and exceptionallyclever, Como was bent on breaking Winn's sanityand self-respect, his bank account, and his heart.

An international sensation, Come Back, Como is the story of one man's hilarious andpoignant quest to win the trust of a dog whowanted nothing to do with him. With humorand pathos, Winn describes the maddening butultimately rewarding effects Como had on hisfamily; the misadventures, ordeals, and terrifyingevents he and his dog endured together; and thegreatest lesson Como taught him: that loving adog can make us more human.
